|
Through nights of irresponsibility and a lack of self-control
|
|
I feared the friends I ran with, but I loved to live the role
|
|
Five of us in Levi jeans who passed on basketball
|
|
We all lived on Presley's 45s and were beckoned to the call
|
|
Every night was Halloween when they picked me up at eight
|
|
We raced the moon to madness before midnight made our bate
|
|
Drinking beer and smoking burned-Out butts till the Camels killed our lungs
|
|
The liquor sent us spinning out and brought a thickness to our tongues.
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Roamin' in the halls
|
|
Rackin' up the balls
|
|
Climbln' up the walls
|
|
Don't you hear the calls
|
|
Lookin' for a place to hang
|
|
The Midtown American Main Street Gang
|
|
An aiternoon of boredom was cured by a quarter and a cue
|
|
Stealing things form the counter top when there was nothing else to do
|
|
Bobby knocked up Sheri, we ushered him out one day
|
|
And Dave and Johnny took the buddy system and they went the Army way
|
|
Two stolen cars took Larry, he got three to five for each
|
|
I came to grips with growin' up, but it's still too far to reach
|
|
The memory's old and the story's told in all the songs that Presley sang
|
|
Are you puttin' me on, is the DA gone, like the Midtown American Main Street Gang?
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
